7% Withholding in South Carolina

nospam@example.com (David Willis) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 08:57:57 -0700

A number of our clients have asked us about the 7% withholding tax that South Carolina does for non-residents. We figured it would be beneficial to our clients to cover this topic for others (non-residents) considering selling their property here in South Carolina. Yes there is a 7% withholding tax on the net gain of the sale. This only applies for non-residents though. Many people don't understand that when they are a non-resident of South Carolina and they sell a property here there is a 7% withholding tax. The amount (your net gain) is given to your attorney by you at closing. Then, at the end of the year you can file a South Carolina tax return, and any excess that was withheld will be refunded to you. If you would like more information on this we would suggest that you speak with your accountant or attorney about this.

I am sure you think I am crazy with this statement, especially if you are reading the headlines that the media is putting out, but you have to think about what they are really saying. If you wait until the media starts saying yes, buy now, it will be too late. With interest rates at two year lows and plenty of homes on the market now would be the best time to find the deals. We can already see the phone calls are coming in more frequently, walk in traffic has increased, and there are more showings on property than there has been in a while, and the best part is contracts are coming in and being negotiated. One of the things we are seeing is that the offers are low, but at least we have something to start with and negotiate out. If you wait it could be too late and the best deals will be gone. We are not sending this to push anyone out of there comfort level, we are not here to push, but wanted you to know about some of the great deals that are available along the Grand Strand. So if you have been thinking of buying, and have not looked lately, now might be a great time to surf the net and see what you can find.

Start 2008 off right by teaming up with The Willis Team!

Myrtle beach international airport had more people-traffic through last month than this time last year which shows we are growing, and soon they will start planning on enlarging the airport to be ready for when we are at full capacity. We can't wait, this is an important part of our growth. Florida exploded with people from other countries buying property up like there's no tomorrow, and we can do the same here. With our climate being more refined and yet not as humid we do have plenty to offer. Contact us for all your Myrtle Beach real estate needs.

Fall bike week just ended, the weather was not the best, it rained on and off, but it was the great on Sunday. People lined up along highway 17 on there golf carts to watch the activities. It is sad when the bikes leave, although you can hear yourself think again. However, to think that many people have a hobby and can come together from all over is a wonderful thing. That is Myrtle Beach for you; we have all sorts of activities going on year round. That is why they call it Paradise and why Myrtle Beach was voted the # 1 beach by Yahoo Travel in 2007. Everything else is just second best.

The travel channel did a list of the best beaches in 2006 and Myrtle Beach ranked in the top 10! Being grouped with luxurious and exciting getaways like Maui, Hawaii and South Beach Florida is a great compliment. We're categorized as one of the most children friendly beaches with all of our shows and different amusements. For all those people who love long walks along the shore, we also ranked high for our large beach area with 60 miles of white sand.

Also in the Golf Digest, Myrtle Beach was ranked number one in golf home communities in the U.S.! They stated that with the reasonable prices and an average of 290 playable days out of the year ranks us the highest. Recognizing popular golf communities like Barefoot Resort & Golf and Tidewater Golf Club & Plantation and a newer private community like the Grande Dunes. The Grand Strand is definitely classed as a golfer's paradise!

We're working on a new pre-construction development in the Cherry Grove area of North Myrtle Beach called Sea Mountain Villas. With only 33 units available, this community offers one bedroom to 4 bedroom tropical themed units with luxury features such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and sinks in kitchen and cultured marble vanity tops and whirlpool tubs in the master bath. Just blocks from the beach and conveniently located close to restaurants, golf, shows and many other attractions of Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach.
